In keep­ing with its com­mit­ment to show­case qual­ity con­tent, WSN is proud to fea­ture se­nior jour­nal­ist, SP Singh’s work. Aimed at the in­tel­li­gent, ar­gu­men­ta­tive, ed­u­cated Pun­jabi, “Daleel with SP Singh” re­mains highly con­tent dri­ven. It does not shy away from tak­ing con­trar­ian po­si­tions and has carved out a very spe­cial niche. WSN will reg­u­larly share the YouTube video of his weekly show.

If you have any con­nect with en­gaged, in­tel­li­gent jour­nal­ism in and about Pun­jab, you would be fa­mil­iar with SP Singh. Known for his rapier style ques­tion­ing, armed with facts, loaded with data, and with his sharp grasp on in­ter­na­tional and do­mes­tic pol­i­tics, SP Singh is now known for his weekly head­lin­ing po­lit­i­cal de­bate show, “Daleel with SP Singh.”

World Sikh News is about in­ter­ven­tion­ist jour­nal­ism. WSN prac­tices jour­nal­ism that ef­fects, pur­sues or fights for change. It be­lieves in con­tent that can jolt peo­ple to take up the cud­gels to bring about change, at both, per­sonal and so­ci­etal level.

In his re­cent show about the Christchurch, New Zealand, killings, SP Singh drew the arch con­nect­ing Is­lam­o­pho­bia across the globe and the di­vi­sive fault­lines in In­dian so­ci­ety as well as within the larger Sikh com­mu­nity. View­ers will no­tice that while his eyes welled up and his throat be­trayed the soul-shat­ter­ing pain that laced the nar­ra­tive, the show suc­ceeded in mak­ing us look in­wards to see if we, too, have our own 73-page-long man­i­festos that shame us.

It is al­right if you feel like cry­ing, or burst into tears; it will merely be proof of the hu­man­ity in­tact in­side you. Still bet­ter would be to take the dis­course for­ward and kick­start con­ver­sa­tions that the com­mu­nity has not been hav­ing for a long time now.

WSN will be bring­ing you more of his work. SP Singh will en­gage you with con­tem­po­rary po­lit­i­cal and so­cial is­sues, but un­like the quin­tes­sen­tial tele­vi­sion de­bates, you will be proud of the lay­ered, nu­anced and in­ter-dis­ci­pli­nary ap­proach.

His sin­gle minded pur­suit is to cut through the noise, but not claim a mo­nop­oly over truth. He brings to fore mul­ti­ple points of view but does not be­lieve in false equiv­o­ca­tion. He be­lieves there is an au­di­ence out there that pines for in­tel­li­gent jour­nal­ism, one that does not in­sult the view­ers’ in­tel­li­gence.

He be­lieves that in­tel­li­gent jour­nal­is­m’s prime pur­pose is to raise the bar of pub­lic dis­course, par­tic­u­larly in times of dumb­ing down of me­dia, and takes pride in be­ing a part of the ef­forts to cre­ate plat­forms where ideas meet, clash, get thrashed out and some­times left loose for many more de­bates.

As for his work, WSN will never say, ‘en­joy the show.’  That’ll be too clichéd a thing to say about a show that will en­gage you, ques­tion you, pro­voke you, rat­tle you and even leave you numb at times.

Take a deep breath and par­take of the first show that we show­case on Daleel with SP Singh – New Zealand mas­sacre, Jacinda Ardern’s role and the im­mi­grant within and among us. While view­ing this do not for­get to click Show More be­low the video to know the de­tails in Eng­lish too.

Would you like to have a Jacinda Ardern in your coun­try?
